American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 535 On How to Turn Fat Thor into the God of Thunder

This meeting was originally intended to help Athena win over allies, but Rune never expected that Thor would make his entrance in such a unique way.

Moreover, in the past few years, Thor's physique has been moving in the direction of Avengers: Endgame—no, with his current weight, he's already much fatter than in that movie, right?

Could it be that Thor will encounter a white, bald old father and a young, archer-wielding war god in the future? Rune's expression was strange.

It's important to know that all gods, regardless of their rank, have very high metabolic rates, let alone a god like Thor who excels in combat. For these gods, it would be difficult to grow to this size, so Rune was genuinely curious about it.

"You guys talk first," Rune said, then turned and left the council chamber to find Thor.

It's fortunate that this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and he only brought Athena with him to the universe he created. If the other Greek gods had come along—

Rune wasn't sure if Odin would get a heart attack from anger.

Upon stepping outside, Rune was astonished to see Thor slamming his head against the wall. It seemed the Asgardian palace was doing a good job with its soundproofing and vibration damping; he hadn't heard any unusual noises while he was in the council chamber.

"How are you?"

When questioned by Rune, Thor finally stopped his self-harm and turned his gaze to the powerful mage, his face expressionless.

However, Thor's despair still traveled through Rune's telepathic abilities and reached the mage's mind.

"I'm fine, Rune, but—could you tell me about the woman inside?"

Rune saw that Loki had already cast an illusion spell, standing behind Thor, and even made a gesture to the wizard to be quiet, then quietly watched the show.

"She is Athena." Although he knew this answer would only make Thor want to commit suicide more, Rune answered truthfully, "She is the Greek god-king from another universe, who came here to seek cooperation with Odin."

A smile immediately appeared on Loki's face.

After a brief silence, Thor looked at Rune with a pleading expression and softly said, "Can you kill me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Loki pulled out two daggers from somewhere and plunged them into Thor's back, shouting, "Oh, of course, my good brother, I'd be happy to kill you!"

The sudden attack made Thor scream in pain. He wasn't wearing any armor, and Loki was actually quite strong, being a descendant of the Frost Giants. So the two daggers were almost completely embedded in Thor's back, with only the handles sticking out.

"Oh, my Odin!" Thor roared furiously, almost cursing, but the thought of Athena inside the door stopped him in his tracks. "You damned bastard—"

Thor's anger wasn't about Loki giving him two daggers, but rather that this move was completely ineffective in killing him and only made him suffer for nothing.

Loki used to do this all the time.

Rune snapped his fingers, and Thor immediately felt no pain; the two daggers flew into Rune's hands on their own. Loki then berated Thor, "Oh, you must have disappointed Father again, haven't you?"

Loki arrived late and didn't see Thor in his bathrobe shamelessly exposing his "bottom line." But he could clearly tell that Thor had gotten into trouble again.

Hogan, supporting Thor, glared at Loki. This young prince had never been particularly popular. "Your Highness," he said, "I hope you remember that His Majesty's favorite son has never been you!"

These words struck Zaloki squarely in the gut. The handsome prince's fair face flushed red instantly, and he was about to explode in anger when Fandral and Vostagg each ran over carrying a piece of clothing.

As Thor's best friends, these two naturally wanted to find the most handsome and slimming clothes, and preferably the most complicated clothes to wear. Thor couldn't stand this kind of clothes the most.

As a result, they spent a good ten minutes choosing clothes, and each of them picked out a set of clothes, but neither of them could persuade the other to put down the clothes in their hands.

Therefore, Fandral and Volstagg arrived at the council chamber much later than Hogan had expected. Of course, Thor's disrespect in front of the two god-kings and a former god-king could not be blamed on them.

Thor's thoughts were simple: the world they inhabited was created by runes, and the trio had been told they had distinguished guests arriving—

Who else could be such an important guest? It's none other than Rune.

In order to retaliate against his father's house arrest, Thor deliberately neglected his appearance, hoping to embarrass Odin in front of Rune and make Rune plead for him. However, he was completely unaware that Rune could also bring people in.

As a result, Thor made a fool of himself in front of Athena.

Actually, if Thor hadn't become decadent and gained weight due to his long-term confinement and almost no visitors, Athena might not have minded Thor showing his underwear.

The traditional clothing of the Greek gods was far more revealing than what Thor was wearing now; at least they didn't wear underwear.

Just as Thor was feeling utterly hopeless, Fandral and Vostagg approached him, each holding a piece of clothing they had chosen.

"Oh, my dear friend, take a look and see which outfit you prefer?" Fandral handed the clothes in his hand to Thor first, completely oblivious to the strange look on Thor's face.

Vostagg, however, used his greater weight to push aside Vandal, saying, "Why don't you take a look at mine? Look how exquisite it is!"

Vostagg gently pinched the hem of his garment, revealing its bright and exquisite pattern.

Loki saw the clothes and sneered, "Ha, so our Thor actually likes the kind of clothes women like?"

Loki deliberately used this phrase to humiliate Thor, but in reality, he was also insulting Hogan.

This is usually something others use to describe themselves. While Thor was out there fighting with others, Loki was learning magic from Frigga, and with his mage robes on, other Asgardians often mocked Loki for being like a woman.

Hogg glared at Loki upon hearing this, while Thor pushed Hogg's hand away and slumped back to the ground, clearly having lost hope in his life. He didn't know how much longer he would be under house arrest, and simply said, "Let me be alone. I want to be by myself for a while—"

Fortunately, Rune knew how to turn this fat guy back into Thor.

"Oh, really? What a pity. I thought you'd be happy to hear that you could fight alongside the Avengers again!"
